START WITH A NEED

I know what I need. Which plant could do it?

I have a brief, a target or a gap in my line. What I don't have is an ingredient no one else is already selling.

“Every supplier offers me the same extracts.”

How do I find something no one else has?

By starting where no one has looked. New actives, not the usual extract with a new label.

“I need evidence, not a trend.”

Can I back it with science?

Icaros brings together the evidence on each plant and its compounds, and predicts bioactivity where there's no data yet. A prediction is a hypothesis to test, not a result.

“I can't afford to test dozens of plants blind.”

Which ones are worth the lab?

I want to prioritize before paying for a single assay.

If we find it, can we protect it?

I want to know before I invest, not after. Moka looks at the IP from the start.

Can I tell where it comes from?

The rules depend on the country the plant comes from. I need to know them before it reaches my product.

How does it work?

  1. I say which active or benefit I'm looking for.
  2. Moka searches Latin American flora until it finds my candidates.
  3. Moka develops them to the level I need.

Clear terms, in writing.
